In her own words

Quite simply: I'm a romantic at heart (however cliche or naive that sounds), still get excited about the thrill of a kiss, the rush you get when you see each other, and mischievous "secret smiles" shared across a room;
All in all I am:
Intelligent (or confident enough to think so), quirky, somewhat sarcastic, and can hold my own in most any conversation or group;
Believe that 99.9% of the time there is a silver lining, if you are just willing to take the time (and expend the energy) to find it;
Think that the simplest (often intangible) things in life are usually the ones that mean the most in the end.
Live with few (if any) regrets; see everything in your past (good and bad) as just a building block of who you become in the future!
Simple and yet complicated... Don't play games -- am who I am
So maybe its easier to say what I am NOT:
a) trying to fulfill a laundry list of "hopes and dreams" that have all hinged on finding the right "One" (but then again, once I do find HIM, who knows what dreams he will inspire);
b) embittered about past relationships (the past is the past- what's done is done);
c) waiting for someone else to "complete me" (I mean seriously-- inspire maybe but complete...?!).
I don't think we should need to find someone to define our lives, but hopefully we can be lucky enough to find someone who compliments it!
What I am looking for:
Strong in body, mind, and spirit;
Physically fit; takes care of himself both physically and mentally;
Has, and more importantly, sticks to his convictions when challenged without needing to be superior;
Self-confident without needing to be arrogant (and knowing the difference);
Someone who knows what he wants out of life and is willing to work at achieving it;
Has a true sense of passion about things!
[MAJOR PLUS- if you actually LIVE in NYC!]

Favorite things

In no particular order: a piece of dark chocolate, a good cup of coffee, chocolate chip cookies, curling up with a good book, stimulating conversation and laughter over tapas and a glass of wine in some small little romantic wine bar....
